Parking Costs $36.75 for the day. It is payable at pay stations on the way to the lake from the parking lot.

Photography tip: My favourite time to shoot this lake is at sunrise to watch the mountains glow and then one hour later, once the sun reaches the lake, to see the famous blue colour come out.

This lot fills up fast. I highly recommend booking a bus tour at Lake Louise Park and Ride, or if you'd like to arrive by your own car, be here by 5:30 am.
